Planning a dinner party or girls' night and want something that'll actually impress your friends? This Strawberry Rosé Margarita is about to become your new go-to cocktail. It's got that perfect balance of sweet, tart, and just enough kick to get the conversation flowing.
Why This Cocktail Works for Every Occasion
Whether you're hosting a spring dinner party or need something refreshing for a summer gathering, this drink hits different. The combination of tequila, fresh strawberries, and rosé creates something that feels fancy but doesn't require bartending school to pull off.
And here's the thing – you can make it year-round. Frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh ones, so don't let the season stop you from mixing up a batch.
The Secret is in the Rosé
Most margarita recipes stick to the basics, but adding rosé takes this cocktail to another level. Mom Juice Rosé brings something special to the mix with its strawberry-forward profile and light, delicate finish. At 12.5% alcohol and with just 3.5 g/L residual sugar, it adds complexity without overwhelming the other flavors.
The California blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel creates those berry notes that pair perfectly with fresh strawberry puree. Plus, it's semi-sweet, which balances out the tartness of the lime juice beautifully.
Strawberry Rosé Margarita Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 oz tequila
- 1 oz orange liqueur
- 2 oz Mom Juice Rosé
- 1 oz lime juice
- 2 oz strawberry puree
Instructions:
- Fill the shaker with ice and all ingredients
- Shake well until chilled
- Pour into a coupe glass and garnish with a strawberry
That's it. No complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.
Make it Your Own
For a lighter version: Skip the tequila entirely. You'll still get plenty of flavor from the rosé and strawberry puree, just with less alcohol. Perfect if you're the designated driver or just want to pace yourself through a long evening.
Batch it up: Hosting a crowd? Multiply the recipe and mix everything except the ice in a pitcher. Just shake individual servings with ice when guests want refills.
Seasonal swaps: Try raspberry or blackberry puree when strawberries aren't at their peak. The rosé plays well with any berry flavor.
Why Our Founder Swears By It
This recipe comes straight from Kristin Taylor, Mom Juice's founder. She's always been partial to fresh strawberries and good tequila, but adding rosé was her way of creating something that felt more sophisticated than your average margarita.
"I wanted something that worked for a casual Tuesday night but could also hold its own at a dinner party," she says. This cocktail does both.
Perfect Pairings
Since Mom Juice Rosé pairs well with fruit salads, sushi, and sorbet, this cocktail works alongside various foods. Think:
- Light appetizers like bruschetta or charcuterie
- Fresh sushi or poke bowls
- Grilled chicken or fish
- Anything with berries for dessert
The Details That Matter
Mom Juice Rosé isn't just another pink wine. It's women-owned, BIPOC-owned, and sustainably produced on California's Central Coast. The wine is also gluten-free and vegan, so it works for friends with dietary restrictions.
At $19.99 per bottle, it's priced right for entertaining without breaking the budget. And because it comes with a screw top, you don't need to worry about having a corkscrew handy when you're ready to mix drinks.
Make This Your Signature Drink
Every good host needs a signature cocktail, and this one checks all the boxes. It's Instagram-worthy, tastes better than it looks (which is saying something), and uses ingredients you can actually find at your local store.
The strawberry garnish makes each drink feel special, but the real magic happens when your guests take that first sip. The rosé adds depth that regular margaritas just can't match.
